On this day, somewhere thousands of miles away from Blackpool Town.

With a soft "pop" sound, the dark room was illuminated by a handful of flames.

By the light of the fire, you can see that there are large books piled everywhere in the room. The bindings are quite exquisite, but they leave no room for standing in the already narrow room.

Although it would be too dangerous to light a fire in such a place, the flame was so small that no one would believe that it could ignite books on the ground.

The flame came from a hand wearing a black glove, and flickering flames were emerging from the fingertips. However, no damage was seen on the glove. It was obviously made of fireproof material.

"Great! It finally worked!"

A girl wearing a pointed hat who looked like a magician suddenly made an ecstatic voice.

The girl has short dark red hair, a round face, and piercing eyes. She looks like a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.

She raised her flaming hands and ran out of the room happily. Her skills were quite flexible and were not hindered by the pile of books.

After coming outside, you can see several rooms of the same size, all connected by wooden corridors.

The strange thing is that these rooms are all built on the water, supported by stone pillars underneath. Each room is connected by plank roads, and people can pass freely.

Looking into the water, I found that the water was a very rare green color. Looking around, I couldn't see the shore at all.

It seems that this place should be in the middle of a river or ocean, which can be said to be completely isolated from the world.

Then, the girl walked through the corridor and ran to the door of the adjacent room. However, contrary to her excited mood, she forced herself to calm down when she knocked on the door.

"Lord Charlotte, are you in there?" the girl said softly.

"...Is it Mi'er? I'm here, please come in." After a few seconds of silence, a crisp female voice came out.

After hearing this, the girl named Mi'er immediately returned to her noisy appearance and rushed into the room.

Although all the rooms are of the same style, this one is completely different from the room Mi'er stayed in just now. It is spacious and tidy. Some kind of magic to expand the space should be used.

This room has a bookshelf as high as an entire wall, containing a variety of books. Next to the bookshelf is a large desk, and a rather gorgeous chandelier hangs from the ceiling about five or six meters above the ground. It is filled with books.

There were candles, but they were not lit because it was daytime.

There was nothing else in the room, not even a window, but there was no trace of darkness, and the sunlight from outside seemed to shine through the walls.

At this time, a young woman named Charlotte Stuart was sitting at the desk, writing something with a quill. She looked like she was in her twenties and was wearing a gorgeous light blue tutu.

, she looks quite mature, has good looks, and her every frown shows her elegant temperament. She is obviously the eldest lady of a noble family.

Mi'er probably came here often, so she didn't express any surprise at the strangeness of the room. She rushed towards Charlotte directly, holding Charlotte's hand, like a child who likes to act coquettishly.

"Lord Charlotte, I finally learned fire magic, look!" Mier said loudly, raising her flaming fingers in front of Charlotte.

Charlotte put down her pen, and then gently touched Mi'er's head.

"So fast? Let me see."

However, before Charlotte could take a closer look, Honey screamed and it turned out that the flame on her finger had gone out.

"What's going on? It was obviously there just now." She immediately showed an expression on the verge of tears.

Charlotte touched her head and comforted her.

"It's okay, look at me."

Then, Charlotte gently waved her white hand on Mi'er's finger, and a faint blue light ball popped out from Mi'er's fingertip. In the light ball, flames emerged from the finger.

scene.

This is the magic that Obsidian Witch Charlotte is best at. It can temporarily go back in time and show how things looked one minute ago. Although it is very simple, she is the only one in the entire empire who knows this magic.

However, whenever the sisters in the organization marveled at it, Charlotte said modestly that it was of no use in actual combat and no one was studying it, so only mediocre people like her would use it.

Annie can understand this best, because the teleportation magic she is good at is also like this.

"Thank you so much, Lady Charlotte," Mi'er beamed again and said excitedly, "You don't know how much effort I've put into making this. Now it's better. Next, I'll ask you to be a witness for me.

I want everyone to know about this."

"Well, of course." Charlotte nodded.

She is very aware of Mi'er's life experience. Due to her special physique, it is difficult for Mi'er to learn fire-based magic. Now it is not easy to achieve this through her own efforts.

However, Charlotte didn't understand. As the apprentice of the gray-maned witch Olenna, why did Mi'er come to her first?

"By the way, where is your teacher?"

"Are you talking about Teacher Olenna? She seems to have gone out with her sister. It has been more than a month and they haven't come back yet."

"What?" Charlotte was shocked.

Although the members of Pandora's Box have always stayed here, they are basically home girls. Except for performing tasks, they usually don't visit each other. Only when the eldest sister orders them to do so, they will get together for a meeting.

If Mi'er hadn't come to explain the situation, she would still be in the dark.

Charlotte couldn't help but worry, because just a few days ago, the eldest sister Katerina said that she would go out to look for Margaret, who had been missing for a long time, but she had not come back yet.

Nowadays, there are seven main members of Pandora's Box, but only three people can participate in the emergency meeting in time, and the premise is that Anne can make it back.

At this time, faced with these emergencies, she became more and more upset, and the information related to the demon clan that she had been sorting had to stop.

"That's why I said I want you to bear witness to me. By the way, I can do this thanks to the fireproof gloves that sister Lesti gave me."

Mi'er didn't pay attention to Charlotte's expression and was still talking to herself.

After a while, Charlotte calmed down. She remembered the guidance her eldest sister had given her. If she wanted to become a great magician, she must take responsibility at critical moments. This might be her chance to show off her abilities.

When the leader of the organization was away, she had to preside over the meeting on the crusade against the demons.

Then, she looked at Mi'er and showed a gentle expression again.

"I see, keep up the good work, you are very talented, and you must strive to learn all magic attributes."

"Yeah." Mi'er nodded heavily.

Charlotte smiled slightly, picked up the quill and started writing again.

"By the way, Lady Charlotte, what are you writing?" After a while, Mi'er asked curiously.

"It is a very important matter. If it is not handled well, it will lead to the destruction of mankind. However, this matter has nothing to do with you. You don't need to worry too much." Charlotte said a very heavy matter in a calm tone.

"...Oh." Mi'er was a little shocked, but still responded lightly.

She understood that Charlotte didn't want her to get involved in order to avoid making mistakes due to her curiosity. After all, this kind of thing had never happened before.

Because of that incident, Olenna, as a teacher, almost drove her away. Fortunately, Charlotte kept interceding for her.

Since then, Mi'er has learned a lot and no longer gets involved in anything, but she still feels very depressed.

She has been here for more than ten years and has been learning everything related to magic, but she doesn't understand the use of learning this thing at all. She has lived in this isolated place since she was a child, so she has no worries.

She was so carefree that she couldn't use magic at all, and she got into trouble the first time she used it, and she almost got kicked out.

In fact, she has no interest in magic. It is only because everyone in the organization has been encouraging her to learn that she is so active. Moreover, Olenna is both her teacher and a being similar to her mother, so she will subconsciously cater to her.

Olenna is a natural as well.

At this time, seeing Charlotte continue to be busy with her own affairs, Mier couldn't help but feel frustrated.

For the past six months, she had been staying in a room full of books, studying hard on magic that seemed very simple to others.

Because she was not a real human originally, but a very ordinary little fox. Later, she drank the transformation potion developed by Olenna and took on a human body, but she still maintained her fear of fire.

Therefore, it is even more difficult for her to learn fire magic than those without magic talent.

But now she has learned that the people in the organization are either not at home, or are only busy with their own affairs, and have no time to really cheer for her. So why does she learn magic? Why does she exist?

She couldn't figure it out after much thought, so she finally had to sigh depressedly, find a chair and sit down, curling up into a ball.

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open and a figure broke in.

Mi'er was startled by the movement. She couldn't help but frown, but she didn't say anything, because that was the only person who could do such a rude thing.

Charlotte also knew very well, so she did not raise her head, but said while doing her own thing.

"Annie, you are finally back."

"Haha, what do you mean, have you been waiting for me for a long time?" Annie stood in front of her with her hands on her hips and smiled heartily.

"No, on the contrary, I was still thinking that if you didn't come back, I would have a meeting with Lesti." Charlotte said lightly.

At this time, she raised her head to look at Annie, and then smiled.

"Long time no see, Annie, how are you doing?"

"That's it. How about you? How are you collecting the information?"

Watching the two of them exchanging pleasantries, the third person in the room had an opinion.

"I said, Sister Anne, I don't know when I made you unhappy. We haven't seen each other for a long time, but you just ignored me. It really makes me sad."

Mi'er said, wiping the corners of her eyes with her hands and pretending to cry.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault that I didn't notice you for a moment," Annie quickly apologized, and then said jokingly, "After half a year of not seeing each other, our little fox seems to have grown up a lot."

"Haha, stop fooling me, I won't grow up from the day I become a human." Mi'er curled her lips, then excitedly rushed over and hugged Annie's neck.

"Quick, stop, I'm going to die." Annie suddenly looked uncomfortable.
